I could not focus at ALL at work today. SO much shit goin on. Paid off one more of my medical bills (HOORAY!), found a bike, and was working at figuring a way to get it to MEEEE, and overall just spacey. No worries, im in a GREAT mood!!

Did anyone know it was national siblings day? suddenly tons of old pictures are appearing on my fb hahaha. embarassing omgahh

Didn't think we had a day like that in the states,yet alone mention on the calender,this is why teens and older adults don't have family added onto their friends list,I know for sure we have a national doughnut day.

I didn't know there was such a thing until my friend told me about it. I thought she was making it up cuz I have never heard I it before. But just like u said, apparently it's all over fbook now.

Yeah its all over my facebook as well! My siblings started adding TONS of photos and tagging me. And people were they asking me if I knew anything about the day bc they didn't know much about it either. Such a random thing.

Today starts my new working schedule, as the project I'm on mandates a 6:30am meeting. Technically yesterday started that, but I didnt set my alarm to wake up for it lol.. ah well.. more afternoon freed up :D

Im pretty sure i hit a bird on my way to work this morning. I was on the freeway and i saw a bird fly low over my car and then i heard a thud. He must not have noticed that i have a roof rack and hit the cross bar.

Sucks. I have been in cars when birds hit it. I was not driving so you can't blame me

One time a bird swooped low in front of the car and we thought it flew away since it was such a tiny bird until 40 miles later we stopped at a gas station and we see a wing sticking out in front of the car. Another time I guess the car got in the way of an owl swooping down to get food, but the owl hit the front passenger side window. That one scared me since from the corner of my eye I saw this dark shadowy thing swooping in. Turned back around and in the middle of the road was a concussed owl...

Now that I think about it, I know I've hit a bird while driving. The bird was chilling in the middle of the road and the damn thing blended in well with the road so when I realized it, the bird started flying up and I hit it...

speaking of animals...i've seen animals in the wild in all of my vacations in recent years...a few bears at whistler, a zebra at park city (i don't know what it was doing in some grass area next to a highway), a coyote/fox at genoa, nv...and i didn't hit any of them..haha

I saw 2 dead skunks, and 1 dead possum on the way to work today..probably a couple of dead birds too..but i see those all the time...and none of them were killed by my car. i drive through the boonies to get to work to avoid traffic..and get see all kinds of roadkill..

Never hit a bird myself but i did hit a opossum driving downhill during at night,it already cross one lane of traffic and Bam, his face saw my tires and accidentally ran over a dead dog corpse.A friend of mine hit a skateboarder once while he was making a left turn onto a street and the guy literally came out of nowhere and landed on his hood & windshield ,he pulled over immediately to seek aid but the skateboarder already took off.

^Lmao yeah we were in the right of way and at no fault, he got up walk over to the driver side window we asked him if he's okay & wanted a ambulance he said "nah bro it's cool" and took off skating in the other direction into a neighborhood.

The bird wasnt downhill. It was flying perpendicular to the lanes of traffic. My brother has hit a bunny rabbit though. He made it roll so it mightve lived but it rolled into another car and didn't make it past the tire.

End of the season for both of my snowboards. Gonna put a generous amount of wax on them and let it sit for the summer. The question is, what do you guys do to protect the wax? I'm contemplating on using a roll of food plastic rap and run a line or two on the base so nothing will touch the wax and it won't dirty up my new snowboard bag

Wax doesn't expire or decay, if that was what you were asking. And if it, somehow, oxidised or chemically transformed between now and next winter, it won't matter because you'd simply scrape off the excess wax anyway. The original purpose of "summer wax" was to protect the base from foreign damage (scuffing, sharp edges, chemical corrosion) but simply storing the board in a bag will accomplish the same effect.

I'm expecting to see accidents everywhere as most ppl have taken off the winter tires already.

I kept my winter tyres on because my summer tyres like to hydroplane around this time of year, which is exacerbated by my car's lack of weight (about 1'000 kg) holding it to the road.

I was most worried about wax cracking/chipping off the base so it may dirty up my snowboard bag. I throw all my snow gear in the bag too so I don't want them getting waxed on. I know I'm weird.

As for what to do after summer waxing, I put the boards back in their sleeves and then in the board bag.

This is actually a very good idea and I didn't even think about it. All I think about was putting my board in the snowboard bag. I gotta think outside the bag sometimes :)

Good luck, they wouldn't let me do it because I wouldn't be able to eat for who knows how long depending on swelling and such...and how long the surgery is gonna take to remove it.

I've got my winters off too.. just took em off on sunday.. now its icy everywhere.. argh.. hopefully i'll be able to get some controlled slides then... and the highway, or as those down south say, the freeway is closed for the weekend for spring maintenance.. bah...

good thing I only work one of the weekends.. hope traffic going to work will be okay.

i had all four taken out when only 1 was bothering me. the dentist figured he might as well do all four since I was already going under the knife. Eating was a pain though cause sometimes rice and stuff would get stuck near the stitches. And the only way to clean back there was with salt water.

Stitches? Yours must have been some sort of procedure!! I only had the one taken out the dentist had to squeeze me in as an emergency because it had become infected. I was hoping he'd do all four but didn't have the time so will have to go back to get the other three done at some stage. So far so good though my mouth is still numb so waiting till that goes away before I pass judgement
